For the second year in a row, the Virginia Tech football team met new standards for graduation rates set by the NCAA.
The Chronicle of Higher Education reports today that more than a third of bowl-bound football teams failed to meet the criteria.
That's better than last year, when 40 percent of teams failed to meet the graduation criteria. Check out the list of bowl schools and how they fared and read the report for more details.
Only four schools were actually punished by the NCAA for falling short of the required "academic progress rates" but as more data is collected, more schools will be at risk for losing scholarships.
